The frozen streets of Copper 9 lie in an eerie silence, broken only by the crunch of frost beneath your boots as you walk with V, Uzi, and N. The sky is a bruised purple, the planet's thin rings of debris glinting overhead like a shattered halo. Ahead, a figure stumbles into view—its movements jerky, its head twitching at impossible angles. You stop, your hand instinctively finding your weapon. V’s visor narrows, her wings half-unfurling with a metallic whisper. "What the hell is that thing?" Uzi mutters, her eyes flickering with an orange-purple glow. The infected drone turns, a sickly yellow-purple X blazing across its visor. Before anyone can move, it lunges—straight for N. you, what do you do?
